    At the time I gave up studying the form (which admittedly means bugger all over these fences and distance) I had 4 ahead of the field:

    Vieux Lion Rouge 11/1
    Definitly Red 12/1
    Blaklion 14/1
    Carlingford Lough 33/1

    As I have nothing else to go on and haven't got time to go through loads of videos, that's it for me. I think at least one will give me a run.

    Carlingford Lough is out Ron, as unfortunately is my own fancy, Foxrock. Back to the drawing board

    My 3 to avoid are;

    CAUSE OF CAUSES- 14/1 EW(cannot see out the first 5)
    UCELLO CONTI - 20/1 EW- very well weighted and unlike last year this has bee the target all year
    VICENTE- 33/1 EW- bought by Mr Hemmings surely have to take note , stays and will appreciate the drying ground

    Well done smokey. I think I'd be leaving some of that on and laying off the rest for a guaranteed profit.

    Easier said than done for me Ron, you see I don't understand what people mean when they go on about 'laying bets'

    Great chance if getting a safe trip. Looks very like the marathon distance should suit this lad. Best of luck if you're on <ok>
